Back in 2010, I pointed out that White House science adviser John Holdren had made a shift in naming conventions for the twice renamed “global warming”.
It seems that another shift in the lexicon has occurred, again at the White House. Organizing for Action, President Obama’s campaign machine declared Tuesday that there was a new name.
The Washington Times picked up on this shift, and I’ve updated the graphic to reflect the new name. There’s also a poll to choose/predict the next name after this one.
The doomed planet movement has been losing momentum. Inconvenient scientific findings have confirmed the lack of any significant warming of dear old Earth over the past 16 years. It’s hard to scare people into action when nothing bad is happening. That’s why the White House has changed its vocabulary again — first “global warming” was changed to “climate change” — and now the correct name of the scam is “carbon pollution.” It’s a way to paint carbon dioxide as if it were black soot billowing out of industrial smokestacks. Carbon dioxide is actually what humans exhale, and it’s food for plants.

Its seems that since global warming has stalled, and scientists are puzzled by it, plus major players in science are poo-pooing the “climate disruption/extreme weather angle, they had no choice but to make a lexicon shift.
Here is the updated graphic to reflect the lexicon shift. Feel free to share far and wide:
What should the next name be? Take the poll, you can also add your own answer. Be sure to post your new answer in comments. (I’ll add some of the best ones manually)
[NOTE: for some reason the poll won’t display other answers from voters in the voting or the results, so I disabled it – A]
h/t to Small Dead Animals for some of the names

Not only do we need a new name for global warming but a new prayer.
Our Co2, which art in heaven,
Damned be thy name,
Thy power be gone,
Emissions be none,
On Earth as as well as in heaven,
Give us this day our daily rations,
And forgive us our emissions,
As we forgive those who emit against us,
and lead us not into electrification,
but deliver us from evil dioxides,
For his is the kingdom, the power and the Al Glorey for ever and ever, Carbon.
I withdraw my suggestion of “carbon injustice” as a quick Google search shows it to be already in use, apparently in all seriousness.
So hard to keep up.
Got a couple
Climazilla, Climax and my personal favorite “World War C”
Call it what it most likely is: The End Holocene.
I like: “It’s SO Frikken COLD!!!!!”
“Super-Climate-Fragilistic-Expect-The-Most-Atrocious”
Mary Poppins, Disney and Fantasy-land. Sums it up quite nicely.
@Mike Doner – YOu got a winner as well!
An amendment to my previous post (Rotten Climate): Climate Rot!
“Inconvenient Weather” seems appropriate in many ways.
ClimaTaxation
The end result of the political, non-science nonsense campaigns.
Climate Later
In Sweden the MSM have already chosen the new term it is “Chaos Weather”.
Whenever there is a thunderstorm, or an ordinary storm, or a blizzard, or downpour, or three or more warm days in a row, then the dread CHAOS WEATHER has struck again.
Earth clearly has a case of Climate Crabs
How about Temperature Dysfunction? You can take a pill (tax) to increase cash flow to the government and cause it to expand …
Climate flatulence – it stinks
If Carbon pollution goes, so must Water pollution (simplified for Water Vapor pollution; water vapor being the strongest greenhouse gas). A water-polluted atmosphere.
Climatic Church of the Goracle
Irritable Climate Syndrome is already a human condition. It’s almost always a self-inflicted
one at that.
Communist Climate Control–for taxing and controlling the masses, using weather as an excuse.
That’s what this is all about, right?
A choice should be:
C.O.O.L.I.N.G.
Climatically Omitted Overheating Loses to Industrial Gases
John
I like CCC: Carbon Compromised Climate.
How about we just call it Desperate Rampant Important Virtual Extreme Lies. Drivel for short.
Cult Against Strengthening Humanity.
Cash for short.
Anal Gore: The Climate Porn peddled by Al Gore & Co.
“Weather”
Carbon Disruption.
It covers all bases, suitably vague it doesn’t even offer to make any predictions. Disruption is a bad thing and to be fought against, it doesn’t have to be defined clearly. Carbon we know is bad and something has to be done about it. Even sceptics can agree we are seeing Carbon Disruption in the form of levies and ill-judged measures to tackle climate change.
